The Global Health-Wealth Gap Credits: 3

Catalog description

What are the reasons for the persistence of a health-wealth gap in the United States and other developed countries? Through an interdisciplinary framework (economics, finance, health administration, history, globalization, and political science), students will reframe others’ experiences of financial and health care inequity in wider societal contexts and draw connections across time and countries. By focusing on the widening health-wealth gap, students will examine their own worldviews and implicit bias in contrast to those of others within the class.
